What is the surface area of the square pyramid?

the formula for area of a triangle is a=bh2 , where b is the base and h is the height. the formula for area of a square is a=s2 , where s is the length of a side of the square.

enter your answer in the box.

the surface area of the square pyramid is
cm2

There are four triangles and one square, the areas of which can be added together to form the total surface area.

Area of triangle = 0.5bh
= 0.5*16*15
= 120 cm^2
Since there are four triangles, the total area for them would be 120*4 = 480 cm^2

Area of square = 16^2 = 256

Total surface area = 256 + 480 = 736 cm^2
